Links of the Day: Don’t mess with Oregon

In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s video of the Oregon mascot kicking the hell out of Houston’s mascot. It’s a classic. (Larry Brown Sports)

The Big Picture has a great post illustrating why being a fan of college football is better than being a fan of the NFL. I agree with pretty much all of it, except the drinking and masturbating parts. (The Big Picture)

The Futon Report has two great posts, one about an old guy who drove into a goalpost during a high school football game, the other about Paul Byrd and his struggles with pornography. That was a sentence I didn’t think I’d ever type. (The Futon Report)

Jose Valverde, like a lot of closers, has a lot of weird habits. (Babes Love Baseball)

The Steve Spurrier I loved is back, and he still makes jabs at Georgia. South Carolina needs to be a great program, just so we can hear more of Spurrier’s wit. (Between the 20s).

Stephen A. Smith hasn’t been seen much lately, and it’s best for all of us if it stays that way. (The Big Lead)
